but he will not come across as the frankenstein that all of this evidence suggests. well, that doesn t mean he isn t. let me ask you this about we ve argued this. we re pro-choice in many ways. in fact, we talk about it here a lot in that vein. you have states where they really shut down on opportunity for a woman to have a real choice. she has to drive to another state. a young girl has to drive to another state. let me get back to elyse. here we have a case where states like the dakotas or places where it s really hard to get a clinic. and here you have a clinic operating like whatever. without getting into, you know, incriminating it, but it seems terrible. so we have states that are too sloppy, that don t regulate at all. then we have states that regulate to death. isn t that true? it looks like it. i agree with michael, this is not a problem of regulation. it was a problem of enforcement in pennsylvania. but it s important to understand, they were all pro-choice. america gav

discretionary spending may look good but doesn t accomplish much of anything. dagen: why aren t democrats afraid when our defense spending fell to 3% of our economy under president obama from 5% in 2010? that is our national defense and security but this doesn t bother them but cutting public broadcasting does. it is more than public broadcasting. we were spending eight times than any country on our defense funding. i am someone from the left side who think there are places we can cut. there is extra fat in every department. donald trump did not put out a budget that touched defense, homeland security, printable issues. i do understand that but that doesn t mean he isn t taking away from key programs. not just meals on wheels, we can stand around and say what about seniors, community block grants, and international affairs budget is getting marco rubio upset, a lot of gop hawks as well.
